Actors from "The Pacific" - Before and After

[LMB]

OK, OK, since so many of the actors are getting the recognition that is merited for the series, here we go:

a bit about "Snafu":

We should also mention the Texas accent for R.V. Burgin, in an understated but excellent performance by Martin McCann, who hails from Dublin!!

Good topic Linda!

Had this one in my sleeve for Gunny Mike

I have liked Rami Malek every since I saw him in the two “Night at the Museum” movies. I really like his role as “SNAFU”! He attitude is actually fairly normal. In the Corps we call it “Gallows Humor”. A way to become desensitized to what is happening around you so you can go on with what you have to do. As Tom told you, in the ‘Nam we called it “Don’t Mean Nothing!”


Linda,

Ha Ha, nice one!

“Now that the 26-year-old actor has gone from dodging velociraptors to fighting the Japanese, he's waiting to see what kind of attention and acting possibilities come his way”
See, I am not the only one!

And here comes a truckload on James "Leckie" Dale...would he be my favourite maybe?

Hummmmmmmm

Has a certain red head been replaced?

[Linda]

Has a certain red head been replaced?

I don't know...still struggling with my feelings!

[LMB]

Since there were two distinctly different theatres of war, perhaps you should indulge yourself with favourites from each theatre.



I'll take the two from Mobile. . . (if I was twentysomething again).

Those were exactly my thoughts too

I'll take the two from Mobile. . .

Sorry *blonde moment here* who are the 2 from Mobile ?

[LMB]

Eugene Sledge and his buddy Sid Phillips.

[Linda]

Hihi
Better back on topic now, before I loose my job here

[Linda]

OK I am all confused now...Bull Randleman headed over to the Pacific anyway? To go yell at Snafu?


This is actually from after Band of Brothers and before The Pacific...Michael Cudlitz and Rami Malek together in 'Over There' (2005)
I like it

[Linda]

Everything's going to be ok in The Pacific folks...JBD got a glowstick

Nice one Linda!

[LMB]

Linda - especially for you!

The new trailer for James Badge Dale's new series, Rubicon, a highly-anticipated new entry from AMC (home of Mad Men and Breaking Bad). Supposed to have a sneak preview Sunday June 13 after Breaking Bad.

Here's the link:

LOL thanks LMB, had seen it already though, what did you expect
Looks like JBD's carreer is on the right track...now have I a good nose for talent (and good looks) or what
